What the items mean

ICR
Insulin-to-carb ratio: grams of carbohydrate theoretically covered by one unit.
ISF
Insulin sensitivity factor: the modeled glucose drop from one unit.
Target BG
The glucose target used when calculating a theoretical correction.
Calculation cap
A ceiling that stops the simulation from displaying an unusually large total.
FPU adjustment
The percentage of the full theoretical Warsaw fat-and-protein amount included.
Current BG
The glucose value at the time the strategy is being modeled.
IOB
Insulin on board: active insulin from earlier doses, subtracted from the meal wave.
BG trend
Direction of glucose movement; falling trends reduce the meal wave and change timing.
Pre-bolus
Selected minutes before eating. The small marker shows the site formula's modeled timing.
Meal wave
Carb dose plus correction, minus IOB, with any falling-trend reduction applied.
FPU
Fat-Protein Unit: 100 kcal from fat and protein, treated by this Warsaw model like a delayed 10 g carbohydrate effect.
Warsaw wave
The adjusted theoretical fat-and-protein amount, spread over 3–8 hours based on FPUs.
Illustrative glucose
A modeled curve for comparing timing; it is not a CGM prediction or measured result.
Activity curves
Relative shapes showing when meal absorption, delayed effects, insulin action, and prior IOB overlap.
